Configuring Back-End-Driven SyncBOs 

To replicate application data using a SyncBO of type Back-End-Driven (T51), you must first configure the following:

·        Mapping between the SyncBO ID and the object ID used by the back end (mandatory)

The backend system uses its own object IDs. When the back end triggers the replication process to the server, the server maps the object ID transferred by the back end to the actual SyncBO ID.

·        Delay with which the job is to be scheduled (optional; default: 300 seconds)

The replication job is scheduled when the back end triggers the replication process to the server, using the interval (in seconds) defined for the SyncBO.

If the interval is defined as 600, the job is scheduled 10 minutes (600 seconds) after the server receives the triggering event.

·        Package size (optional; default: 1,000 rows)

Bundle size of the number of header records handled by the generated replicator.

The package size also influences the number of parallel replicators scheduled. The number of replicators is determined by the package size and the number of records to be replicated: The smaller the package size, the more replicators are scheduled to replicate the same number of records.

Also you must determine the package size if one header record contains a large number of items.

For more information on SyncBOs of type Back-End-Driven (T51), see Note 711983.

Procedure

Configuring the Object ID and the Interval

S...

       1.      Start the transaction mi_mcd.

       2.      Enter the application name and choose Display MCD.

       3.      Choose Display <-> Change.

       4.      Choose the SyncBO tab page.

       5.      Enter the following settings for each SyncBO of type Back-End-Driven:

○       The object ID in the SyncBO-ObjectID column.

○       The delay with which the job is to be scheduled in the Interval column.

       6.      Choose Save.

Configuring the Package Size Delay and Maximum Number of Replicators

...

       1.      Start the transaction merep_pd.

       2.      Choose Display <-> Change.

       3.      For each SyncBO of type Back-End-Driven, choose Config and add values for the parameters PACKAGE_SIZE, REPLICATION_INTERVAL and MAX_NUM_OF_PARALLEL_REPLICATOR (see Defining Additional Configuration Parameters for SyncBOs).

Always set the values for these parameters here, and never in the MEMSD_DEP table. When applying the new Support Package Stack, earlier entries are copied from MEMSD_DEP to the new location. Perform all further changes in transaction merep_pd.

       4.      Save your entries.
